Pholklore Torquay
Located right on The Esplanade with front-row seats to the beach, Pholklore Torquay is all about laid-back dining with a view.
The décor draws inspiration from Vietnamese street markets with the open-air setup, complete with vibrant lanterns and communal dining tables. It's casual, buzzy and built for good times – whether you’re with your mates, family or just chasing a tasty feed.
Expect modern-twist Pho, flavour-packed Banh Mi, share plates and fresh salads that hit the spot. It’s quick, fresh, and full of feel-good flavour.
Pop in for lunch, dinner or a cheeky Spicy Marg and enjoy that ocean view!

We are traditionally a walk-in only restaurant, however we understand when planning a meal out with a big group of friends, you want to make sure we can seat you all. For that reason, we accept group bookings for large groups of 10+ people only. Groups smaller than this size are walk-in only. Please see our Group Bookings section for more info.
